We just got word from Resolution Interactive that the lite version of their upcoming Aqua Moto Racing 2 was approved earlier than expected. Aqua Moto Racing 2 Lite [Free] only comes with three tracks and three wave-runners’s to race on them, but it does include their complete dynamic wave system which is what makes this sequel so awesome. I briefly described the new dynamic waves in our preview:
Aqua Moto [$1.99 / Free] was (and still is) a great game, which did an excellent job providing nearly everything you’d want out of a wave-runner arcade game, except movement in the water. Every track in Aqua Moto was remarkably calm, but not anymore. Aqua Moto 2 introduces an entirely new dynamic water system, which not only looks great in motion, but also makes the game both more fun and challenging as a sudden wave as you’re trying to come around a corner can either result in getting wicked air, or going off course entirely.
You can see these new water effects in action in the new trailer:
The full version of Aqua Moto Racing 2 is still in review, and could land on the App Store any time now. If you have any fond memories at all of playing Wave Race 64 on the Nintendo 64, you really should give Aqua Moto Racing 2 Lite a try, if for no other reason than it’s the closest thing I’ve seen so far to it on the iPhone. The lite version has just enough content to get you excited for the full game, which hopefully will show up for download soon.
